Hello! Thank you for subscribing to our updates on the Winchester Street Reconstruction project. Please drive slowly and watch for equipment and laborers in the work zone. Below are some detailed updates:

Work over the past week included:

• Continued installation of stormwater pipes and structures within the Phase 1 work area.
• Installation of sewer manholes in the Phase 1 work area.
• Removal and filling of existing stormwater pipe.

Work planned for next week includes:

• Adjustment of concrete barricades, cones, and traffic delineators to shift traffic to the eastern side of the roadway north of Key Road
• Granite curb installation along the center island of the Key Road roundabout
• Granite curb installation along the median islands on Winchester Street
• Installation of stormwater pipes and structures within the Phase 2 work area.
• Installation of water and sewer services in the Phase 2 work area.

Closure of the Island Street Bridge to vehicles is scheduled for April 24, 2023. Once this happens, there will be a number of signed detours in place for road users to find their way to Winchester Street, West Street, and Pearl Street. Maps are available on the project website to help guide road users in advance of the bridge closure. We look forward to making this a successful project this year.

As always, please check out the project website or the Keene Public Works Facebook page for updates as things progress. Thank you!
